Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

And at the Heart Appearance realm, Inner Heaven and Earth strive towards Great Success, accomplishing Body Unification, not only can one physically enter the Spirit Ocean, but also externally manifest the Inner World, transforming it into one's Lifebound Character, thereby harnessing the power of the Spirit Ocean to interfere with and distort the real rules within the domain.

The most top-tier Heart Appearance Domain can encompass an entire metropolitan area.

At this step, with the Dharma enveloping one, every movement resonates with Heaven and Earth, even if deploying Killing Great Divine Power, one strike could, despite the suppression from the rules of the Great Universe, still mobilize the Power of Heaven and Earth to obliterate lands spanning hundreds of miles.

And at Heart Appearance, what Martial Artists pursue is the embryonic form of a dojo, and the Fetal Breathing Realm of Unity of Heaven and Man, to achieve the unity of the spirit.

Finally, with the body and spirit unified, the inner and outer Heaven and Earth resonate, forging the ultimate human Heaven and Earth dojo, with Divinity steering the True Unity body, accomplishing the Heavenly Human form.

Heavenly Human Martial Artists, placed in ancient times are Resident Immortal Buddhas.

The so-called Arrogant Sun, Sealing King, refer to martial artists possessing the form of Heavenly Person.

Stepping into the Heavenly Person Door, physically tempered through and through, becoming a raft of salvation, supporting the vast boundlessness of the spirit, to say one has vast Divine Skills is no overstatement.

They can freely control the power of Dharma, even if suppressed by the Great Universe rules, their own dojo can cover planets, influence the operating of planets with their spirit, replace the Heaven Heart with human hearts, achieving true Unity of Heaven and Man within the dojo's range.

Within their own rules, they are invincible.

In the Federation, Heart Appearance can still be suppressed by the Spiritual Interference Device, but Heavenly Personages are free and unfettered, all dependent on the order rules established by those in high positions.

And in the Nine States, where there is no suppression by Heaven and Earth rules, generations of Supreme figures have been "writing rules" within their respective regions for the purpose of preventing the overly powerful destructiveness of Heavenly Human Martial Artists, preventing the already "crowded" Nine States from land sinking.

This realm, Inner Heaven and Earth will also start evolving towards the true Universe Heaven and Earth.

The mark of a Grandmaster, is when Inner Heaven and Earth truly form their own realm, capable of housing beings, nurturing Mythical Creatures.

A step further above...

Masters seek the path, Grandmasters forge the path.

Supreme Grandmasters exhaust the ends of Heaven and Earth, seeking the ultimate of Dao.

The way herein is both Martial Arts and Dao.

And it is said that the realm of Supreme Grandmaster in the Federation is actually not complete, appearing to transcend above Grandmasters, but in fact, not escaping the shackles of the Seven Realms.

This is related to the suppression by the Great Universe as well.

Subsequent realms, Ji Jingqiu knows little, they are too distant from him.

According to Long Qingyang's expectation for him, with the original accumulation from the Divine Travel and Chains Realm completed in the Nine States, then strive to break through the Heavenly Person threshold within five years.

By then, Ji Jingqiu would be a Heavenly Master of around 21 or 22 years old.

This age, could rank among the top three in the history of Federation Martial Arts.

Ji Jingqiu opened his eyes, reached upwards with his hand, and pushed up; the falling waterfall roaring like thunder suddenly paused, then reversed flow upwards!

This scene persisted for a full five seconds before breaking, the accumulated water momentum surged downwards with even more force!

This is his proof of mobilizing the Power of Heaven and Earth.

The power of Divine Skills is to mobilize the Power of Heaven and Earth through Dharma.

Therefore, Power of Heaven and Earth is also referred to as Divine Power.

Ordinary Martial Artists reach the Chains Realm to touch this; some Heavenly Prides, nurturing Divine Skills in the Divine Travel Realm, can borrow a strand of Power of Heaven and Earth in advance.

Ji Jingqiu, after forging his Innate Taoist Body, can mobilize a strand of Power of Heaven and Earth under the environment in Nine States; due to environmental restrictions in the Great Universe, he still needs to incorporate Pan Ding Power.

At this moment, with an enhancement in his Inner Heaven and Earth, the leveraged Power of Heaven and Earth also increases.

As the waterfall crashes down, Ji Jingqiu rose, delivering a punch upwards, his Qi Force concentrated and not dispersing, like a Flood Dragon emerging from the sea, piercing straight through the sky, against the waterfall, creating a True Void.

He stepped out from the pond beneath the waterfall, the pond water green as jade, and the water from the waterfall falling once again rose high behind him, reflecting a dazzling brilliance in the droplets.

Mountain and Water Divine Form, for the Mountain aspect he had the guidance of "Great Sumeru Mountain True Form Map," this True Form Map's profound meaning supported him to go far.

Now he only lacked the Water aspect.

And having completed refining the spiritual mechanism, he needed to search for new Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanisms.

It was time for Senluo to come into play.

Additionally, Master Lu Tong had previously given him coordinates, suggesting he might find two threads of spiritual mechanisms over nine feet there.

But that place is deep inside the Ancient Road, so he had not previously ventured there; this time he prepared to search along the way.

Ji Jingqiu walked out of the Ancient Pond, his mind made up about the path ahead.

Just as he prepared to move, suddenly he heard a voice from Hel.

[Let's simply collaborate this time.]

Ji Jingqiu paused, "What do you mean?"

[I want to see if you can enter the First Sequence of the Emperor Heaven Universe.]

"First Sequence?" Ji Jingqiu inquired, "Does Emperor Heaven Universe refer to the Nine States? And what about the Great Universe?"

[The name 'Emperor Heaven' is derived from the name of the most powerful Divine System in this universe before its destruction. As for your Great Universe needing a name, talk about it after its destruction.]

Ji Jingqiu, who had a question he'd been curious about for a long time, asked: "What about you? Where exactly do the Four Demons in the wilderness come from?"

Regarding this question, he had received a special answer from a woman of the Cangqing lineage.

——They are merely four hapless souls who have left their homes.

[Don't you think you are focusing on the wrong direction?]

Ji Jingqiu spoke earnestly: "I just want to understand you deeper."

[There will be a chance. When your Great Universe perishes, I will bring you into my Divine Country and take good care of you.]

"Let's discuss the First Sequence." Ji Jingqiu swiftly changed the topic, realizing that Hel did not want to talk more about her origins.

[This Inheritance Ancient Road is used by the Emperor Heaven Universe to select the capable talents, divided into three tiers, corresponding to three sequences. Progressing to each sequence means a higher priority.]

Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and asked: "Which sequence am I in now?"

[The Taboo Sequence is equivalent to the Third Sequence, but currently, you should be considered as having entered the Second Sequence irregularly.]

[Normally, to enter the Second Sequence in the Divine Travel Realm, according to the standards of your Federation, one needs to accommodate nine spiritual mechanisms.]

Ji Jingqiu's gaze sharpened. In the history of the Federation, the maximum was accommodating seven spiritual mechanisms!

[You are an exception, which is related to your further advancement from the True Seed Realm.]

[For the First Sequence, it targets the absolute geniuses of the Chains Realm, which is almost impossible to appear in this era because this Inheritance Ancient Road has been damaged, greatly reducing the duration available. Even the most talented Martial Artists cannot explore the Chains Realm to its limits in such a short time.]

[To enter the First Sequence, there are two methods: one is to emulate the performance in the True Seed Realm, breakthrough at the peak of Divine Travel Realm and irregularly enter the First Sequence; the other is to advance to the top ranks of the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele and irregularly enter the First Sequence.]

[Only by entering the First Sequence will you be qualified to truly access the secret vault of the ancient road and touch the secrets of the Emperor Heaven Universe, which is also what I am interested in.]

Hearing this, Ji Jingqiu spoke softly: "Does the secret vault contain the Dao of the Emperor Heaven Universe?"

Unexpectantly, Hel's answer was negative:

[Their Daoist Skills are not worth learning because they have already failed.]

Ji Jingqiu fell silent, suddenly understanding Hel's point.

The Emperor Heaven Universe has already perished, leaving only the remnants of the Nine States; their Daoist Skills could not withstand the ultimate tribulation.

"How bad will the future be?" he asked softly.

[It depends on your perspective and understanding. If you view it from the perspective of the weak, the future will be a chaotic time where the strong act unbridledly. Initially, it involves the change of the larger environment, such as the complete dispersal of the suppressive force of the Great Universe's Heaven and Earth, dramatically increasing Martial Artists' destructive power, further widening the gap with ordinary humans' essence of life, making breakthroughs easier, with some proclaiming themselves as the Divine Race, establishing their own Divine Systems, and cultivating countless followers...]

Listening to Hel's seemingly calm words that seemed to contain a hidden depth, Ji Jingqiu furrowed his brows.

He was unsure whether Hel at this moment was truly revealing her feelings or simply putting on an act.

Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and switched topics: "Boundary Mountain and Nether Sea, are they remnants of the Emperor Heaven Universe?"

Based on his prior understanding, the Inheritance Ancient Road seemed related to Boundary Mountain.

[First, Boundary Mountain and Nether Sea are not equivalent and should not be discussed together.]

[Second, you overestimate Emperor Heaven and underestimate Boundary Mountain. For Boundary Mountain, Emperor Heaven Universe is just a passer-by, just as you and He Donghuang are just passers-by in my life.]

[Next, I will guide you to fully unlock your Physical Body Divine Store and compete for the First Sequence.]

...

That day.

Ji Jingqiu found Senluo in Void Boat City, intending to inquire if there were any clues found about the spiritual mechanism.

Unexpectedly, the first thing Senluo said to him upon meeting was:

"Big brother! My Heart Lamp can now condense a wick!"

Ji Jingqiu was immediately shocked.

Can this thing still be developed further?
